Thoughts about today's hearing

A summary by Marcos from ADL.

The court hearing was not the immediate action that would be ideal,
but progress was definitely made. The attorney for JC Cutters, John
Robeznieks, tried his hardest to convince Chicago building inspector,
Julio Montilla, that the tent JC Cutters has erected could be a
permanent and last 15 years. Montilla would not hear it and mentioned
numerous times that the tent can be nothing, but temporary. We found
out something interesting today too; we found out JC Cutters does not
have a permit for their tent. They submitted an application for their
permit, but the alderman of that ward, Scott Waguespack, has yet to
approve it. He has been approached by NBC and PETA, and has started
discovering the poor conditions these horses live in. If Alderman
Waguespack rejects the application permit we would win a huge battle
in our fight against Cutters. It is pressure time and we will soon
know the outcome.



Alderman Waguespack, please hear our plea. Do not approve the tent structure. It is NOT what is considered acceptable by the city that you serve. The rules are the rules and these people have deliberately disobeyed them by erecting a tent with NO PERMIT in YOUR ward! Your voice is for the horses that have none.
